Stuart Blackbourn from Yarborough Leisure Centre said: “This is the first time the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile has come to Lincoln, so let’s don the headband, get training and show the rest of the country what we can do.

“There will be plenty of activities on the day so don’t forget to rope in your mates, family, boyfriend, girlfriend and colleagues too!

“While you’re at the centre, why not call in and see what we have got going on as part of the day? There will be lots to do and see.

“As a charity our mission is all about persuading the nation to be active. What better way is there to do this than at events like the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile?”

On March 21, you can tune into BBC’s night of Sport Relief TV, with celebrity performances and comedy sketches such as an Only Fools and Horses special with Del Boy and Rodney plus Sport Relief Does Strictly.
